Artitude invites you to celebrate the turning of the Wheel, with our Samhain folk mask making workshop. Taking inspiration from gaelic folk masks of old, we will use straw, scrap fabrics and basic stitching to make a face fitting of the Púca.
Stick to tradition with natural materials or give new life to waste plastics and create your very own folk masks for the modern age. There's nothing scarier than waste, so we will show you how to make a sustainable Samahin disguise that would scare the Cailleach herself!
Light refreshments and materials will be provided for all participants, but please feel free to bring any waste or bits and bobs you're inspired by.
This workshop is for adults.
